Ain't trending well, bro. http://www.evilbore.com/forum/index.php?action=stats
Look at how that new thread count number has dwindled. Posting hasn't been so sparse since the first couple months.

It's surprising that they just up and bounced like that, despite each having like 30-40k posts... what could have set them off?It's not like the post anywhere else. They seem to be done with forums in general.

The random talk thread has only been there since April. It doesn't explain the downward trend prior, or the dropoff of overall posts.
I think it's probably because we run off all the drama queens, then the people who chased them away run off themselves when there's no more internet injustice to be dealt with.
And the fact that we get so few new members.
someone willing to do a gaf suicide run? It's been a while

Himu is right, the drop in new threads (down 90% from the most active month) doesn't match the drop of posts (down 50%).
Delete catchall threads.
Khan, you're obviously Jinfash. Your posting styles are too similar. Jin, why did you re-register?

If you're against that, stop whining. This thread could've been about something much more interesting, like your trip to SE Asia, India and Egypt.
Why? Someone posts about a Cave shooter going Region Free - none of u are gonna post in it.

but this is a SMALL FORUM. random gaming and what are you playing are general gaming discussion threads that are only capable on boards like eb. instead you turn it into gaf. not EVERY game NEEDS a thread.

Rename the Random Gaming thread to "Unquestionably Insignificant Gaming News" and I will be happy.
I also set up Google to not crawl this site, there is too many incidents of people getting affected IRL. So it is best to take a more closed stance unless I am convinced otherwise.

Oh my, I never thought it got to be that serious. :o
Thanks for MAN'ing the fort, Demi. :-*
Do some people really take this shit too seriously? I must be missing something or don't care to follow it.
also we cull most of our posters from gaf, and there are probably too many of us now that just don't have gaf accounts at all or don't read there. so we can't PM the chosen ones that are wortwhhile over there. if there are any

I dont think its taking it too seriously. People are just... bored, I guess.
It is winter, play some vidya, fuck your wife (or pound your fist) and go take a nap.
I don't know anyone IRL who would be interested in posting here, and the pretend people I know on the internet already know about it.
Friendly advice, though: When new people do show up you guys tend to jump all over them like a pack of dogs. "WHO ARE YOU ARE YOU GREEN SHINOBI WHY ARE YOU HERE FUCK YOU SHOW US YOUR TITTIES OR DICK OR DICKTITTIES FUCK YOUR POOR TASTE IN EVERYTHING I HATE"
And then every few months we have a whine thread asking why no one sticks around.
*connection made*
Take that as you will, I don't really give a shit either way. But this cycle seems to be endless, talking shit all the time and then pooching your lips out when people stop hanging out with you.
I was just generalizing a bit.
That's not to say I don't like you guys, btw. Just a "Well, what did you expect?"
Where does "Please understand" come from?
This board hasn't been the same since The Dark Shake left.

And a few other similar examples are kind of unwelcoming, to me at least. I know some of you from elsewhere, and I think this place is ok, but that kind of behavior to newbies is exactly what would discourage me from coming back to this place in a few days. That and these kinds of threads, that ironically reached page three in no time, meaning that most of you are lurking rather than posting.
Pussies.
I swear you people whine for the sake of whining.

Jinfash is gone? What happened?
He requested it, and Willco said to go ahead with it. I dont do it unless fatco gives the go. Though since he's gone... who should I delete next

Boogie, check your PMs.
Again? lol. Add me sure. I'm pretty sure you removed me from the other account.
Oops, I just rejected all 5000 people in the queue. Any guesses on how many were legit?
I'm gonna go with 5
Still the best board on the internet.
Love the new banner.
I fucking blocked images from Wikipedia cause JIMMY WALES and his wet, puppy eyes was everywhere.
ugh, borys is back :(
Pussies.
oh man that'd rock if we got Anihawk on here. He was one of my favorite posters back in the day.
Again? lol. Add me sure. I'm pretty sure you removed me from the other account.
yea when i sold my 360 i didnt wanna waste a friend spot for you but im gettin a new one in a month or two
futami wants to be unbanned, thoughts? lol

disgusting. crushed, on the other hand, went from being a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow ninthing on gaf to a pretty hilarious contributor here, and it'd be aces to have him back.

2 of those were mine you big knobhead, apparantly Gmail isnt liked.
Anyway, I lurked on this forum for a while, but I found the forum has a USP that other forums like to kill; light hearted bullshit.
So just feed that as much as possible, by finding bullshitters and invite them rather than durr I'll invite the guy on GAF that posts a fuck ton, if they post a fuck ton there chances are its for attention and effect, its not going to draw over to a smaller forum.
Take that Shanadaneus guy on GAF is a perfect example of who would not be suited to this kind of forum; a whiney voice in the crowd shouting for attention. Someone like say Anihawk or Grand Jedi would be someone who would improve the boards community.
Find people who have conversations rather than want their voice to be heard in the crowd bullshit you see over on GAF
But thats just what I think
andrex is cretinous. that is somewhat mitigated by the fact that he is like 14 and precocious but DAMN his parents should enroll him some shit and keep his doofus ass off the internet
it's the holiday season and people are getting busy. When the January lull sets in, things should pick back up.Yeah, I fucking worked six days last week and am doing the same this week! :spin
andrex is cretinous. that is somewhat mitigated by the fact that he is like 14 and precocious but DAMN his parents should enroll him some shit and keep his doofus ass off the internet
Andrex is 18 or 19, which makes him even creepier.
I think Aeana registered here at one point but it's not hard to see why she didn't stick around. This place is a really bad fit for anyone who wants to seriously discuss games, because it's comedy hour 24/7 around here.We have plenty of gaming discussions.
Which is fine and definitely gives the place its own character, but you aren't going to get people like Ethelred and Aeana here because of that.

I should stop thinking that the nintendo fans on gaf are all just kids (i.e. stupid)
Jinfash said he'd be back. His personal life and this board got mixed up. Has nothing to do with anyone here...it's all real life stuff.
yeah, you're a fattievirgin.
Well, it doesn't help the board's case that some of the more prominent members here prefer to instantly lash out at thread starters because the discussion that is being generated revolves around a topic these same individuals deem to be "lame."
You start a Wii thread, regardless of how informative and objective the original post might be, and you'll be on the receiving end of a bunch of knee-jerk, hope-my-jerk-off-friends-find-my-reply-funny-and-this-guy-goes-away backhanded remarks. This isn't exclusive only to the Wii and its games, but other consoles and games the Bore Circle Jerk Collective have unanimously voted against, for one reason or another. How is a new visitor, lurker, or potential new member supposed to interpret such reactions, and how are you going to entice that new person to become a proactive member in light of that? They won't even bother.
I know, because I used to run a forum about this size (500-700 posts a day), and it developed under the same circumstances as this one. A bunch of us left a supposedly authoritative community and created a new one under the common flag of hatred for the old one. It was very active and very promising initially, and I thought it would last that way, but it didn't. The "regulars" of the new forum felt that the community was their fucking playground and they could openly and collectively gang-rape anyone that challenged their authority. New members were simply too hesitant to involve themselves in the community, much less post new threads, and I witnessed the community shrinking every year - even the founding members were getting bored because of the lack of new discussion and new blood (ironic, since they took such pleasure deriding them whenever they stuck their heads out).
It got to the point where the forum experienced only 2-3 posts a day. I tried to jump start the place by remodeling the forum's membership policy, but by then it was too late. I simply didn't have the energy nor the time to start from scratch, and it's much harder to start a community from the ground up.
Unfortunately, those signs leading to the collapse of my old board seem prevalent here. Yeah, some of the members will stick around, defend the place, and say they'll stick around and do X-Y-Z to guarantee it lives on, but it's all BS. These members are like sluts: they'll say they love you and whisper sweet nothings into your ear, only to have their cunts stuffed hours later when you're not around by the stud next door with the horse cock.
I suspect all of this will be ignored or find itself the recipient of a classic Bore attack, but I couldn't care less. I consider this post to be my most meaningful and genuine contribution to the community and its leaders, and I really don't care how it'll be received.

a creepy, incestuous family
Please God, no Combine.
Some of the GAFfers I wouldn't mind seeing post here are Boney, A Black Falcon, Gravijah, and the retired Aeana and Ethelred. They'd add some good discussion on the gaming board. And as for OT, I remember inviting AlternativeUlster, for some reason I really dig the guy's sense of humor, but he didn't really seem too interested in joining. Also, Vinci, jon bones, Combine, Shaneus (not to be confused with Shanadeus!), okno and joelseph (for the latter 3 that's b/c I want some more people to bullshit about EDM with :P)
Also maybe I am confused, but isn't EmceeGrammar = Crushed? I think I remember hearing that once and it made some kind of sense to me.
Evilbore feels the same as it it before...to me at least.
